Answer: A) parabola</h3>
Some degenerate parabola cases form a single straight line, while other cases form one pair of parallel lines.
A degenerate hyperbola forms two lines that intersect at the vertex of the cone. We can rule out choice B.
A degenerate circle is a single point, so we can rule out choice C.
A degenerate ellipse is also a single point. Any circle is an ellipse (but not the other way around). We can rule out choice D.
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we must simply solve for x. To do this, we will need equation operations, and the use of the distributive property.
Let's work this line by line until we have the value for x:
3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1
3*-x + 3*(2x + 1) = x - 1
-3x + 6x + 3 = x - 1
3x + 3 = x - 1
2x = -4
x = -2
Now we can check our answer for x by plugging back into the original equation and see if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side:
3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1
3{-(-2) + (2(-2) + 1)} ?= (-2) - 1
3{2 + (-4 + 1)} ?= -3
3{2 + (-3)} ?= -3
3{-1} ?= -3
-3 == -3
Thus, we have found the solution for x to be equivalent to negative 2.
Cheers.
X = -2/7
5x = 1/2 ( 3x - 2 )
5x = 1.5x - 1
3.5x = -1
x = -2/7
It is an acute triangle bc 8 squared + 14 squared is 260 and that is more than 15 squared (225)
